15 Airline CEOs and experts on travel distribution and airline merchandising to gather in Dublin

The Airlines in Transition summit, only two weeks away, will feature 15 of the world's most interesting aviation CEOs - from China's Hainan Airlines, Willie Walsh from IAG, JetBlue's Dave Barger, to one of Europe's most successful LCCs, Vueling's Alex Cruz. They will be discussing airline partnerships, global alliances and responses to low cost competition (and vice-versa).

And there is no hotter topic around the revenue end of the airline business at present than recapturing distribution, controlling it and monetising transactions. An exceptional group of experts will be discussing the distribution and merchandising aspects: Jeremy Wertheimer, Google's VP Travel; Farelogix CEO, Jim Davidson; IATA's NDC guru, Eric Leopold; Former Air Canada CEO, Montie Brewer; Derek Sharp from Travelport; Greg Gilchrist from Sabre Airline Solutions; SITA's Jim Peters and Datalex's Aidan Brogan.

All led in fascinating panel sessions by our eminent Thought Leaders, Jeff Shane, Rigas Doganis, CNN's Richard Quest, Prof Nawal Taneja and Gillian Gibson.
